Description: Event filter with query "SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "Win32_Processor" AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99" could not be reactivated in namespace "//./root/CIMV2" because of error 0x80041003. Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected.

Pending sector count is what really looks bad. I was hoping speedfan would give us a second opinion on that too as I have never seen one that is still working with that high a value. I'm working on one now with only a value of 71 and it has problems booting.

Go back into speedfan and do the S.M.A.R.T tab stuff so we get a second opinion on the drive:

click on the S.M.A.R.T. tab. Click on the down arrow to the right of the Hard Disk box. Select your hard drive. Click on Perform an In-depth Online Analysis of this hard disk. Your browser will open.

At the bottom of the new page will be a line:

The link to get back and see a new report about this hard disk in the future is this.

Right click on the underlined "this" and select Copy Link Address. Move to a Reply and Paste (Ctrl + v).

Temps are higher than I would like.

When your friend replaced the fan did he perhaps unscrew the heatsink/heat pipe? If so that might explain the high temps or he might just have forgotten to clean the heatsink. If the heatsink was disturbed it needs to be cleaned and the thermal paste replaced.

It's odd that speedfan doesn't see the fan. Usually there is a section on the left that shows the fan speed. Perhaps Speedfan doesn't fully understand this PC. This is what I expect to see (from my desktop PC so it's going to be a bit different anyway)

The reboot speed is back up to where I would expect, about 5-10 seconds. I pray over my stuff (maybe why it lasts so long) and often that keeps it running. This drive is about 5 years old now. It's more than 4 I'm sure. My friend cleaned it, but I have no clue what he did or didn't do with the inner parts. It was done in his shop while I was at work. I'm trying to get a read/write surface scan tool, as the speed fan suggested it. Do you know of one that may work?

Short term back up everything you don't want to lose then buy a new drive preferably a Western Digital Black ( they really do seem to be better and last longer)
Amazon has one that will work for about $70:
WD Black 1TB Performance Mobile Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6 Gb/s 32MB Cache 9.5 MM 2.5 Inch - WD10JPLX
by Western Digital
$ 64 99

You plug the new drive into the usb adapter and the adapter into your PC's USB jack. Run the cloning software. (Make sure you know the source drive is the old drive and the destination is the new.

Once the cloning software finishes you shut it down, use a small Phillips screw driver to remove the 2 screws that hold the cover on the drive, remove the screws (may be 2 more screws). Often the drive is in a carrier so you need to remove 4 more screws. Keep the screws separate since they may be different sizes. Remove the old drive, install the new. Boot up and run speccy to make sure that the new drive is clean.

Looks like it's a solid state drive. It might fit but usually you need to reload the operating system from scratch. There are a couple of cloning programs that claim to be able to clone from a standard hard drive to an SSD but I've never tried them. Nice price tho.

I'm looking into getting a replacement now. I think that is the best option. I want to find a 2tb drive if possible. Thanks for all your help. I think it is in a stable enough condition to transfer my data and get this sick computer well again. Thank you again.

right click on FRST.exe or FRST64.exe (whichever you used) and rename it to uninstall.exe. Then right click on uninstall.exe and Run as Admin.

If we installed Speccy it needs to be uninstalled. Process Explorer, VEW, AdwCleaner, JRT and their logs and Speccy's log can just be deleted.

Also make sure you have the latest versions of any adobe.com products you use like Shockwave, Flash or Acrobat. Flash is now the most malware targeted program so it must be kept up to date. Be careful with Adobe. They are fond of offering optional downloads like yahoo or Ask toolbars or that worthless McAfee Security Scan. Go slow and uncheck the optional stuff.

Whether you use adobe reader, acrobat or fox-it to read pdf files you need to disable Javascript in the program. There is an exploit out there now that can use it to get on your PC. For Adobe Reader: Start, All Programs, Adobe Reader, Edit, Preferences, Click on Javascript in the left column and uncheck Enable Acrobat Javascript. OK Close program. It's the same for Foxit reader except you uncheck Enable Javascript Actions.

If you use Chrome/Firefox/Edge then get the Ublock Origin extension. For IE go to adblockplus.org and get the program.
If Chrome/Firefox is slow loading make sure it only has the current Java add-on. Then download and run Speedy Fox.http://www.crystalidea.com/speedyfox. Close Chrome/Firefox/Skpe. Hit Optimize. You can run it any time that Chrome/Firefox seems slow starting..

If you use Facebook you need FB Purity: http://www.fbpurity.com/
To prevent a relatively new phishing attack: In Firefox, type:

about:config

in the URL box and hit Enter. You should get a new page of options (if you get a notice about voiding the warranty just cancel the warning). In the Search box put in

puny

You should only get 2 options:
"network.IDN_show_punycode"
We want it to say True but by default it is False so double click on it to toggle from False to True.
"network.standard-url.punycode-host" Leave this one at default of Flase.
Close and restart firefox.

If you are a Facebook user get the FB Purity extension for your browser:http://www.fbpurity.com/
This will stop all of the suggested pages and ads so that Facebook loads much quicker.

Be warned: If you use Limewire, utorrent or any of the other P2P programs you will probably be coming back to the Malware Removal forum. If you must use P2P then submit any files you get to http://virustotal.combeforeyou open them.

Due to a recent rise in the number of Crytolocker infections I am now recommending you install:

The free version. When you install it the default is NONE which is kind of worthless so change it to Standard or default. If you have problems after installing CryptoPrevent you can just uninstall it.

If you have a router, log on to it today and change the default password! If using a Wireless router you really should be using encryption on the link. Use the strongest (newest) encryption method that your router and PC wireless adapter support especially if you own a business. See http://www.king5.com...0637284.htmlandhttp://www.seattlepi...ted-1344185.php for why encryption is important. If you don't know how, visit the router maker's website. They all have detailed step by step instructions or a wizard you can download.

Special note on Java. Old Java versions should be removed after first clearing the Java Cache by following the instructions in:http://www.java.com/...lugin_cache.xml
Then remove the old versions by going to Control Panel, Programs and Features and Uninstall all Java programs which are not Java Version 7 update 25 or better. These may call themselves: Java Runtime, Runtime Environment, Runtime, JRE, Java Virtual Machine, Virtual Machine, Java VM, JVM, VM, J2RE, J2SE. Get the latest version from Java.com. They will usually attempt to foist some garbage like the Ask toolbar, Yahoo toolbar or McAfee Security Scan on you as part of the download. Just uncheck the garbage before the download (or install) starts. If you use a 64-bit browser and want the 64-bit version of Java you need to use it to visit java.com.
Due to multiple security problems with Java we are now recommending that it not be installed unless you absolutely know you need it. IF that is the case then go to Control Panel, Java, Security and slide it up to the highest level. OK.

Avoid:
Advanced System Care
SuperAntiSpyware
HitmanPro
Spybot S&D
Any P2P software especially if it comes from Conduit.
Registry Cleaners
Driver updating software.
PC fixing or Speed up software.
Running more than one anti-virus.
Seagate hard drives. If you have one it's going to fail on you so backup your data now!
